Walkthrough:

This quest gives the Blessed Blood Offering, one of the three items required for the Demon Queen raid.

Stepping into the quest, you are at the top of a long drop. Head down once everyone is in.

When you are ready for a fight, grab the bowl off of the altar. A very big and very mean scorpion will pop out of the ground to take you out. Fight him at the north door, as soon as he dies the door will open and the race will begin.

This quest has constant respawns behind you at different points. They will all run up the spiral trying to catch up to you. The best way to deal with this is to move quickly and leave crowd control as you go. The doors to the left contain optionals and sometimes chests. Many groups will go for the speed route, and ignore these doors, so make the plan before ya take off.

The first bridge you reach is trapped with fire, so be careful. You can close bridges behind you, but if you do so you cannot get back through later, if you should need a re-entry. It does block the respawns behind you, though.

When you get to the firewall blocking the door further, kill the named to open the route up. There is a chest in the side passage there, if you are feeling up to it. Heading further up the spiral, you will eventually get to another bridge room. There is a pit under the bridges that leads to a safe, submerged tunnel, and another shrine.

Someone, or everyone, after shrining, is going to need to climb up the lightning trapped path, or across the ledges around the back of the room, and drop down and lower the second bridge from the other side. Once everyone is across, lift he bridge back up and clear the area.

The next room is the last fight. Take out the support scorrows before dropping the drow caster. She has super duper stoneskin, but it will drop eventually. When she fall, ignore all the scorps poppin up, head further in and into the next cave, talk to the drow and complete the quest.

Now head back to Calyx in the Refuge to get your blood bowl and an end reward.
End Reward: standard loot list.
